Lloyd
Lloyd is one of the high-ranking members of the enigmatic Bounty and Contract Association. As one of the Handlers in the organization, he gives missions and jobs to the several crews under his employ. History Lloyd first entered the galaxy around 2 Gyr SF, shortly after the Saar invented Slip-Space Drives.

He worked closely with the Saar, who quickly created an interstellar empire that spanned thousands of worlds, while ensuring that they did not abuse their power. Throughout the first 100,000 years of interstellar civilization, he quickly realized the need for an independent service that worked as intermediaries between mercenaries and their employers. He gathered together other like-minded beings and formed the Bounty and Contract Association. A billion years later, Lloyd found himself a centerpiece on the side of uwcumari ciy during the First Utojw Jafw Crisis. He tried to fight off his fellow wuananru utojw jafw, working alongside others of their species, but wzunwew cofyw ucanru fycnryt efntucah yn wwoz gdiyru huraod hog uyl wag ufags ,wwoz hunazaf ly hro ,drauq ury efry wos ug.

Thanks to his actions, the Second Utojw Jafw Crisis ended less than a year after it began. A few months after the Mass Reduction FTL Drive was invented, he set up shop on Ord Melul, near the junkyard and BCA-operated spaceport, making a concrete base for both his contracting and his side business of shipbuilding and weaponsmithing in the area. He dislikes the planet, however, and prefers to conduct his business from his ship, the Moirai. Appearance A member of an unknown shapeshifting species, Lloyd's "true" form is a pile of deep blue matter. He takes on different forms as the times and job suit him; his current preferred one is a spindly male human with shoulder length black hair and ash-white skin. His eyes are blood red with no pupil on black scalera, has no nose, nostrils, eyelids, eyelashes, or a visible mouth. Despite being able to shapeshift clothing out of his own body, he prefers to actually wear clothes appropriate for his current form. When in this form, he tends to wear long-sleeved shirts patterned after a Kurtha, a form of ancient clothing originating in the Sol system he took a liking to, with a coloring similar to his "true" form. He also wears a pair of faded red cargo pants, with both pants and shirt having a loose fit to accentuate the form's unnatural thinness. One thing common to all his shapeshifted incarnations, however, is a wide-brimmed hat, colored a dark matte grey. Personality Lloyd is typically laid-back and tends to be fairly detached from the world around him, a symptom of his long life. While he does care about other sentient beings and tries to ensure their survival and strongly discourages their mistreatment, he looks more on a species level than an individual. He feels some fondness for those under his employ, and does his utmost to ensure their individual well-being. He prefers, where possible, to resolve conflicts without violence and through logic. He does not, however, form strong attachments to his employees, as they tend to have far shorter lifespans than he does, barring the occasional robot or being that can afford de-aging implants. Even then, he is slightly distant, as these both tend to rust or die after a few hundred thousand years. He retains a fairly close friendship with Sela Xaxis, fueled partly by the fact that they are the only truly permanent beings in each other's lives. Skills, Weapons, & Abilities Skills Shapeshifting - Lloyd, as a {SPOILER}, is naturally capable of changing his form to whatever he desires. It is something he uses to his advantage, changing his "default" look over the years and using it to blend in and spy on others. High Knowledge - Having existed in the galaxy for 11 billion years, as well as full and unrestricted access to GalNet, Lloyd has enough knowledge of the galaxy, its history, and its inhabitants to almost seem all-knowing. Expert Pilot - Due to his immense age, and due to ,wnyfaj ly whrowiygn ly udhufsyrx ugn huziwryt dramog Lloyd is capable of competently flying any ship he enters. He still prefers the Moirai over others. Weapons His body - being a shapeshifter, his own body is his most useful and readily available weapon.

He is more than capable of using each and every one of his creations, as well as anything else that's lying around.

Lloyd can also shapeshift an interface to let him interact directly with GalNet if he can't {SPOILER}. Category:Characters
